* Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F . Sift flour , baking soda and salt twice and set aside .
* Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy ; add vanilla and mix well ; add egg a little at a time , beating well after each addition . Add dry ingredients , on low speed , just to bring the ingredients together enough to form a dough , a very soft and slightly sticky dough ; do not overwork . Mix in the chocolate .
* Scoop out a tablespoonful of the mixture to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment ; bake at the center of the oven for 10 - 12 ( I baked mine for 15 minutes ) minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed ; remove and leave to cool on the baking sheets .
